Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 CHEVY, MALIBU WITH 46,901 MILES AT 80MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR STARTED LOOSING POWER AND BECAME UNEASY TO DRIVE. THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT, STABILITY TRACK LIGHT, AND ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENCE, MY ENGINE AND STABILITY TRACK LIGHTING WOULD COME ON AT RANDOM MAKING THE CAR DIFFICULTY TO DRIVE. I WOULD TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE TECH COULD NOT REPLICATE/DUPLICATE THE ENGINE LIGHT/STABILITY TRACK COMING. THE DEALERSHIP HAD ME TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY AND CHANGE SPARK PLUGS, BUT ENGINE LIGHT/STABILITY TRACK CONTINUED TO COME ON AT RANDOM. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX ANYTHING THAT COULD NOT BE REPLICATED/DUPLICATED. *TR
